The Directorate of Jan Shikshan Sansthan (Which is a subordinate office of MSDE) monitors the implementation of the scheme by the JSSs.

The priority groups are women, SC, ST, minorities, and other backward sections of the society. JSSs are reaching to the unreached areas to cater the needs of the poorest of the poor. They work at the doorstep of the beneficiaries with a minimum infrastructure and resources.

Training requirement

Each JSS comprises of both teaching and non-teaching staff with head of the center being the Director.

Pandemic has further necessitated the requirement for training program. In this new world order, employees are wearing multiple hats at work. Organization needs to foster this culture of knowledge sharing and cross functional skill set.
